Thanks: with `+keep' top and side margin seem all right now. `-hl' is not so
important after all. I say `-hl brown' and get blue instead. But what is quite
important is the Ctrl-+ function, which does not work, whereas Ctrl-- works
fine. It is much faster than using the `s' key, so I wish I could fix it. Any
hint?
Thanks sincerely,
Rodolfo
